Is Dusty the best Richmond player of all time yet?

4 Points: Who can go the distance with Tiger Dustin Martin?

Double-teaming the Richmond star might be the only option for finals rivals; Top sides defy the stats; Pies improve the recipe; Geelong are catatonic again.

Yep and has been for 3 years now

I'm still not convinced that we've seen the full Richmond playbook yet. I would love to see the stats but Dusty sitting in the goal square doesn't seem as common. Only 17 goals this year, basically one per. And had three in the North debacle. Take those out and it's even less. Reckon his heat map would show someone getting more ball behind centre. Every final we have won Dusty has been damaging forward of centre. We know what Dusty 1 out does.

But here's the rub, how many times have we had Dusty, Cotch, Ross and Graham in the same side? Not once by my calculation's.

Hello September.....

What about the brilliant little flick pass on the boundary to Jack who goaled.

Does that action get recordedvas a goal assist?

A ripper bit of statistical nonsense.

Dusty is credited with 14 disposals, 6 goals and 10 clangers on Saturday night!

Doesn't that mean 2 of his goals were clangers?

Imagine kicking 6.0 and still getting called for a clanger

Free kicks against are clangers, so that counts for 7 of them.

Geez most opposition supporters have NFI. They reckon Dusty gets looked after by the umpires

Yes Et..... Either Dusty is a genius .... or better still, his 'goal assist' to Jack is a contested possession!

I'll be honest ... he looked waay off in the first 1/4, bad passes, poor disposal.... proved me very wrong for the next 3!...

Yes clangers can be other things that don't result in a disposal. Another example is a dropped uncontested mark. KMac is a top performer in that stat.

Even his free against are legendary. I loved the arrogance of his frees against, the HTB to Hodge was superb. He did not even attempt to dispose of it, he just lay there and had a little rest.

In real time live, that looked like Hodge belted him in the throat and Dusty was expecting the free

I haven't seen a replay yet.

Wanted to get this cut up earlier but was digging trenches etc;

Simply incredible.

The more I watch his 5th the more he reminds me of Lethal .....

Them poor try hards booing him Saturday night. ... still gotta another 5 to go on this contract

 

[nikolasmia]

Simply, An all time great

It's not rocket science to say Dusty is the key on Friday night to the outcome of this game.

Of more interest is how he will go against Cam Guthrie who's clearly going to get the job again & has been in good form himself with a strong game against WC.
Dusty exploded in the 2017 QF once Guthrie went off with a calf injury & turned the game on it's head but before that he was pretty well held.
You can bet your bottom dollar Scott will look to tag him out of the game this week. How Dusty (& his team mates) cope with that will be interesting & important..

Agree TOO. If Dusty has one kryptonite it’s the hard tag. Yes we have the luxury of pushing him forward but for us to win Friday night we need him in peak performance in the guts.

He was invisible when Guthrie was on the ground.
But Guthrie one on one in the forward line, would still worry Scott.
